...Laws on school attendance vary widely from state to state; some permit children to enroll in school as late as age eight (Arizona) and to leave as early as age 14 (Massachusetts).

Dr. Hugh Crichton-Miller. honorary director of the Institute of Medical Psychology, flayed Public School doctors. "School teachers???I refer to those who hold teaching certificates? have at least had some training in psychology, whereas we doctors have not. Any knowledge of the subject that the school medical officer may possess he has acquired since graduation. It follows, therefore, that in dealing with such problems as persistent stealing or homosexuality the teacher is more likely than the doctor to have...
